Loved this place! Stunning location with fabulous views of mountains out virtually every window. It is clean, tidy, spacious and modern with the thoughtful addition of fruit, cereal, milk, bread and even homemade biscuits awaiting us! Like a home away from home.
Also, really well placed to get to all the great activities this area has to offer. Rural but 5-10 min drive max to petrol and shops.
Hosts are onsite and super friendly and welcoming, as is their dog, Bess, who we loved visiting us! Huge, immaculate lawn which our boys enjoyed playing cricket on with four hens as spectators!
Couldn't rate this place or hosts highly enough, would absolutely stay again!
